Just be aware that commute times can be major in the Austin area because of the inadequate road systems for the population! It may only be 30 miles from north to south Austin, but it can take 2+ hours to travel that distance if you get the wrong day/time. I lived there 3 years ago, and was thankful to live close to my husbands work. Whenever we had to go across town, it was a major pain. I personally lived in South central Austin, and love the south side! It was around Slaughter lane. HTH!
